I wish Bow-Tie and Applejack were released in the sitting pose.

In general, having ponies irl match their cartoon counterparts sounds like a good idea.

As a kid who grew up mostly without the influence of the cartoon series, I see it the other way around. Cartoon series should make better attempt to represent toy product in my opinion. But then I guess I would like to see some ponies looking more like they did in the comic (as those drawings were based on prototype images) so maybe it's the same thing. In any case, I don't really want any five legged baby ponies or unicorns with opposable thumbs any time soon, so I'll pass on the show-accurate G1s ;)

Taffeta:
It could go either way. I was annoyed when watching episodes about ponies I have, and on screen they had different colors. Bushwoolies looked cuter, Salty looked darker, etc.

I never really had any attachment to the animation. There are too many differences between the release/pony lore in the UK and those episodes - names, ponies that weren't released, even personalities etc -  beyond the basics of how they're animated. I think that I noticed less than the others.

 I only had four episodes for most of my childhood mind you, but I was always really irritated by the name 'Sweet Stuff'. I just assumed as a kid that whoever made the animation didn't know MLP well enough to know her name was Sweetie, so I kind of disregarded it as being a 'proper' pony story (unlike the comics).

 I had NO idea Sweet Stuff was her correct US name because in the 1980s there wasn't any kind of information like that available to a six year old british kid xD. Even as a kid that annoyed me more than the fact the Twinkle Eyes didn't have exactly accurate colour order in their hair at all times in that episode. I like the episode. I watched it a lot. But I would have liked it more if she'd been called Sweetie.

But of course this is all personal opinion xD. We all have our own perspectives depending on what the big pony influences were or are on us ;)

I'd want every single So-Soft pony to be sold in a non-flocked version.  I really don't like the flocking.

I'd also change Tootsie and TAF Buttons' body colors.  I like green . . . but not pea-soup green.

I like the So Softs but would echo this, because they should all have a so soft version and a regular version. O.O. That way people can choose. Also Paradise would exist and I could have an army without having to deal with deflocking :P (#selfish reasons)

I know. I am lucky enough to have one, but I still would love a HK one, because we were meant to have one in the UK and then she never got released. So yeah. It would be nice to have one that isn't Nirvana ;) Plus Brazilian paradise is way too expensive to have an army of O.O.

I wish they didn't give so many of the G1 orange ponies lt pink, magenta, or lavender hair it just looks...off...to me. I mean look at G3 Wishawhirl, Pumpkin Tart and Seascape and how gorgeous the darker colors were! (Of course a lot of G3s had the dreaded hair colors too, ugh)

No more beddy bye eyes! :)
